out at DesMoines interviewing Hon. F
W. Lehman as to the political outlook
for the democracy in 1888, in which Mr. !.
Lehman forecasts the unanimous renom-
nation of Mr.. Cleveland eighteen months
hence, and his election by larger ma.
jority than before. When it is considered
that MIR. Lehman is one of the foremost
and best posted Iowa politicians, his
remarks must be taken as carrying con.
siderable weight, at least in Iowa where
he is q democratic leader.
